Charlie's Birthday

Our baby boy is growing up way to fast!! He not only turned one this past week but he also started walking!! Crawling is still his favorite way to get around but he walks all over the house especially if you pretend not to be watching. He does not like an audience... he gets that from Mark!!

We had his "Pirate Pool Party" at my parents house in Houston. We only invited family but ended up having 37 people! It was a ton of fun. Mark, Charlie and I had more of a low key celebration in Austin on his actual birthday. We made a cake and all 3 of us decorated it! So fun!!

Memorial Day and Galveston Pictures

We had a very fun Memorial day weekend with my family at the lake. We had to cut our trip short when we got the tragic news that our beloved Mimi passed away. I fully plan on blogging on Mimi when I stop reeling from the loss but for now I wanted to put up some fun pictures of our trips.
